Abstract: The weakening of the wage relationship has been invoked to affirm that work has lost centrality in the construction of social relations, and argue that other categories such as cultural, ethnic, sexual differences should be used. Also, that capitalism has expelled populations that convert them into social waste. These statements are denied here and it is pointed out that work remains at the center of the construction of the social, and that the contradiction between working capital, in the contemporary world, is expressed in additional areas, such as the dispute over the appropriation of the economic surplus through public finances. It is affirmed that the popular sectors are exploited by capital, and that exploitation is expressed through unequal exchange in the market where their work is undervalued, and in being forced to obtain monetary income in the market to pay rents that capitalism demands to allow access to basic services.
